PRESENTATION
This is the fifth game by Gemelle Games, following the successes of Undefeated and The Tale of the Common Man. Like the two mentioned games, this plays as a 2D old school RPG in the style of the SuperNes Final Fantasy games.
STORY
Rick is a mercenary – but even a mercenary can be a hero, especially if it involves his self respect. After a commission goes wrong he has to fix the resulting mess: a woman’s life in danger and the loss of his fee.
The party he eventually leads is no dream; a woman with no battle experience, her spurned lover, the lover’s valet (who doesn’t want to be there, and who wants his master to marry someone else) and a mage who has been out of action for 92 years. The thing that binds them together is a possessed knife which is drawing Anna into deeper and deeper darkness. When the light is finally extinguished for her, she will be destroyed.
With only the smallest clue to start with, they must find out what is possessing the knife and how to free Anna from it. And they don’t have a lot of time, less than they think.
Will they succeed? That is entirely up to you.
